8k! Week 4 completed.

I’ve been running a bit ahead of schedule (pun intended) due to a cluster of runs at the start of B210k. I was aware thatI was about half a week ahead of plan and wasn’t quite in sync with the updates from ju-ju-. But I t’s just as well, as I missed several runs due to the snow and then getting cramp in my calf which took me out of action for a couple of days (the cramp was entirely preventable. I had too little water and too many ales one Friday night.)

I am now one full week behind schedule. But I managed to pick up where I left off this week with Parkrun on Saturday , ran intervals on Monday and yesterday ran 8k! That’s quite far! It’s the furthest I’ve ever been anyway. It’s not 10k but I feel like a bit of a ‘distance runner’ already! Woohoo!

P.s. I promise I ran along the side here before taking a photo. I didn’t just do 8k on the Volks railway train!

Wow, the Volks railway: that’s a blast from the past! I grew up along the road in Southwick 👍

The longer distances I run, the more of the Brighton coast I get to see!
